WOVEN PILLE FABRIC.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 529,858, dated November 27, 1894.

Application filed April 28,1893. SerialNo-472,198- (NomodeL) My invention has for its object to' cure this defect and to produce a pile fabric rug, the

- heading of which will be as sightlyi as the remainder, and the unfinished appearance of the construction just spoken of avoided.

The construction by which I accomplish my improvement can be more readily pointed out by reference to the drawings, in which- Figure 1 is a plan view of a rug containing my invention. Fig. 2 is a section on line 00-00, Fig. 1.

The main portion of the rug is composed of cut pile, A, contiguous to uncut pile, A, the uncut pile A, being lower than the cut pile, A, so that an embossed appearance is given to the rug. The heading is formed of uncut pile, B, said uncut pile being of lower height than the pile of the contiguous body of the fabric. In the pile rug, as ordinarily constructed, the heading is not formed of pile, either cut or uncut, and presents to the eye a raw and unfinished appearance, but with my improvedcon- 'struction the heading adds to the appearance of the rug, instead of detracting from it. If desired the heading can be formed of pile of less height than the pile, at any portion of the body of the fabric, or may be higher than the pile of some portions of the body, provided it be lower than the pile of'the contiguous body of the fabric.

Having now fully described my invention, what I claim, and desire to protect by Letters Patent, is-

1. A new and improved pile fabric in which the heading is formed of pile lower than the pile of the contiguous body of fabric.

2. A new and improved pile fabric in which the main portion of the fabric is formed of cut and uncut pile contiguous to each other, and the heading of pile of less height than the pile of the main portion of the fabric.
